climax, is attained. A few people will find it easy to follow the path of meditation -- in fact fifty percent of people in the world will find it easy to follow the path of meditation: Zen is their way. And fifty percent will find love closer to their being: Sufism is their way.
In a real world, an intelligent world, there will be only two paths, Sufism and Zen, and all else will disappear. All else is futile. Why two? Because there are men and there are women. And remember, by "men" I don't mean biological men, because there are women who are psychologically men, and there are men who are psychologically women. I mean psychological men and women. There are men who are more capable of love than any woman, but they are few. There are a few women who are more capable of meditation than any man, but they are few. The majority of women will have to follow Sufism, and the majority of men will have to follow Zen. But biologically it cannot be determined; it is a totally different affair. You have to watch yourself: whichever feels good for you, whichever feels natural, spontaneous, that is your path.
Sanai has the heart of a woman. All Sufis have the heart of a woman.
ALL OF YOU ARE FAR
FROM THE ROAD OF DEVOTION:
SOMETIMES YOU ARE VIRTUOUS,
SOMETIMES YOU ARE WICKED...
But never devoted. Neither is virtue going to help, nor is your wickedness going to help; that keeps you divided.
I have heard:
A man was about to make his first parachute jump and was very nervous. The instructor tried to reassure him that nothing could happen because first the parachute would open by itself; and if by some remote possibility it didn't, then there was a backup parachute he could pull the string on; and thirdly if both didn't work he was to call out the name of the Devil three times.
To make the story short, he jumped and the first parachute failed to open, then the second failed to respond, and in desperation he yelled out "Devil" three times and sure enough a giant hand appeared under him and gently carried him to earth and placed him on the ground. He fell to his knees and in prayer position cried out, "Thank God!"
